Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WARSAW, May 18-Joseph Plew, indicted for
the murder of Henry Durham and his child
was brought into court to-day and by his attor-
news moved for a change of venue, alleging that
the people of Kosciusko county are SO preiudiced
against him that he cannot secure fair trial

of the cause changed to Whitley county. Under
the statute governing such cases the judge has
option whatever. Considerable dissatisfac-
ton is expressed at the move. The prisoner
looks pale from his four months confinement,
but is still stolidly Indifferent to all the proceed
ings Mrs. Durham has not yet fully recovered
her faculties. She suffers constantly from the
wounds on her head, and her physicians say that
there is a strong probability that she will never
be able to testify in the case. Plew will not be
tried until September.
